Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 186

186 Mother of Fire (2)

#186

“……Hello. Mr. Navardoze.”

“Ro Ronan?! Why are you here!”

Itargand let out a sound that bordered on screaming. When I opened my eyes slightly, I saw Navardoze’s still frozen face. It looked as if flames would pour out of the red-hot pupils at any moment.

【You.】

“Uh, over there… so… do what you have to do. It looks good.”

Cold sweat ran down his temples. Among the shitty things that can go through in life, an incident was happening that deserved to be counted among the five fingers.

“Why, because I don’t have parents, so I longed for a relationship like the two of you… I do have an older sister, haha… After all, having a mother is better, right?”

Ronan muttered nonsense, desperately avoiding her gaze. Again, no answer came back. Navardoze, who was looking at him up and down, frowned.

【you. How is it moving?]

“That’s… I’m a bit peculiar.”

【Body constitution.】

Ronan let out an awkward laugh. I couldn’t decide if I should tell you the truth. It wouldn’t have been as tragic if he had rashly said he knew how to cut magic and was classified as a dangerous molecule and reduced to ashes. Suddenly, Navardoze’s eyes twinkled.

【Don’t you know who I am?】

“Gagging!”

Something invisible strangled Ronan. His body slowly rose into the air. Asher’s telekinesis was strong enough to make it look like a child’s play.

“Nava…Ledoze…!”

【I didn’t ask you to play with words.】

This was really not funny. The aura that bloomed over Navardoze’s shoulders was distorting the space around him. It seemed that the entire plaza was covered with haze.

‘Shit…!’

Ronan gritted it. It was an embarrassing situation. Even now, if I stretched out my right hand, I could grasp the hilt. If he wanted to, he could have escaped by cutting his psychokinesis, or he could have taken a hit. However, it was almost certain that he would face certain death if he did so.

【I’ll ask again. How did you escape my magic?]

Navardoze continued. The tightening force became stronger. A decision had to be made hastily before the blood to the head ran out. It was the car Ronan was about to say. Shocked and dazed, Itargand cried out in fright.

“Fix it, mother! This is the man I was talking about!”

【That person? No way…]

“Yes. The person who saved me and encouraged me to attend Phileon. This is Ronan!”

【Ugh…!】

Navardoze’s eyes widened. The power that was holding Ronan was gone. He collapsed on the floor and let out a dry cough.

“Gagging…! Keck! Damn it…!”

“I’m sorry. Are you okay? To think I would do this to the benefactor who saved my son…!”

Navardoze stomped his feet. The lifeblood that covered the plaza disappeared in an instant. Ronan, who had been hanging himself, stood up.

“Whoa… yes, it’s okay.”

“It’s all good… I’m so glad.”

Her voice, which seemed to oppress her soul, had returned to her original kind voice. she said, tapping her son’s forearm.

“You should have said it sooner. You almost got into trouble.”

“Uh, my mother acted so suddenly… I’m sorry.”

“…Whoa, no. I was in a hurry. I’m sorry for blaming you.”

Navardoze shook his head and admitted his mistake. The title Ir, which had been bothering him since before, seemed to be a nickname for his son. Navardoze, who had regained his composure, looked back at Ronan and said.

“…you don’t need to introduce yourself. call it by any name you want Sorry again.”

“This is Ronan. It’s really okay, so I don’t have to.”

“Yes, nice to meet you. Ronan.”

Navardoze laughed. Looking at it like this, she was just a pretty looking wife. Suddenly, I wondered how many mortals would have seen her like this.

‘I almost fell behind.’

Of course, apart from the ending, it was a really dangerous situation. Ronan let out a silent sigh of relief.

I had an intuition that I shouldn’t face it this time. Ronan knew she could separate his flesh from his bone with as little effort as a scratch on his back. He looked around at the students who had stopped and opened his mouth.

“What happened to all these people over there?”

“Don’t worry. It’s just that I’ve slowed down the time within range for a moment. When the magic wears off, I will continue my business as usual.”

Navardoze explained that there would be no harm to their health and said that Ronan was the only human moving in Phileon. Once again, goose bumps ran down my spine. It meant that the 8th circle mage, Kratir, was also affected by this ridiculous magic. Navardoze continued.

“I should say thank you first. He is my last child. I thought the world was falling apart when I heard that I almost fell for a corrupted Frost Spirit. I don’t know how to thank you.”

“It was nothing.”

“You could have a little more pride. If it wasn’t for you, many people would have lost their lives. How fortunate it is to not have to destroy the Kingdom of Glacia.”

Ronan swallowed a thick saliva. There were no lies or exaggerations mixed in with his calm tone. Glacia was the name of the Frost Spirit King. The one who made the contract was a transcendent being, with many believers counting her on three fingers throughout history and worshiping her as a god.

Navardoze was treating such a glacia as a click button. I could see why the savior had to go to apologize to her.

“Irga told you so much. I mean, I know the size of the world. I want to thank you for this realization as much as for saving my son’s life. It took me a very long time to shake off my arrogance as a dragon.”

“you’re welcome.”

“Hehe, you are humble. That is also a virtue that we will never have.”

Navardoze laughed. She was genuinely happy that her son’s values had changed.

In many ways, he was a completely different person than he expected. Ronan honestly expected that when Itargand returned after being defeated by the Winter Witch, he would be purged and hung over the fireplace. Why isn’t that common? People as incompetent as you are not part of our clan! same development.

It was in the middle of Navardoje’s praise of Ronan. Suddenly, a red light leaked from the inside of her hood. Startled, she frowned.

“Oops… I guess I’ll have to go back today. What has happened is that the offensive is getting worse and worse.”

“Are you free?”

“okay. They’re annoying guys. That’s why I can’t go to Adren well…”

Navardoze took off his hood after saying something incomprehensible. Along with red hair, a pair of horns appeared.

It was obviously invisible when he was wearing the robe, but it seemed to be some kind of hallucinatory magic. Its horns, curved toward the sky, were slowly flickering in an ominous red color reminiscent of poisonous mushrooms. She sighed as if it was annoying and looked at Ronan and said.

“Then tell me what you want.”

“Suddenly?”

“okay. I should reward you for saving my son. Did you think I would just get over it?”

Ronan’s eyes widened. This, like her personality, was unexpected. I thought saving lives would be a reward, but I thought they would take care of one separately. After thinking for a while, Ronan opened his mouth.

“Then…could you please give me some time later? about a day.”

“Is it time? There’s nothing that can’t be done… but will that work?”

“yes.”

Ronan nodded. It wasn’t something I was hoping for in the first place. Buying Navardoze’s favor was already a huge enough reward.

“…an interesting choice. Most mortals want things they can touch. After all, you are different.”

“I have a story to tell you.”

“okay. I’ll try to get it out sooner or later. Umm, by the way…”

Suddenly, Navardoze’s eyes narrowed. She scrutinized Ronan’s face and sighed. Embarrassed, Ronan shrugged his eyebrows.

“Why are you like that?”

“Where have you seen me before?”

“…I mean Navardoze?”

The two tilted their heads at the same time. It was a really unintelligible sound. I searched my memory to see if I had ever come across someone walking around with a polymorph by chance, but the possibility of that was remarkably low. Navardoze’s aura is never something to be confused with. She waved her hand first.

“no. Let’s talk next time. Please keep things a secret today.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t speak even if my tongue is pulled out.”

“Thank you. See you tomorrow.”

Navardoze lifted the tip. Itargand’s face turned red with the sound of his skin lightly touching.

“Oh mother…!”

“Enjoy the immaturity of childhood. Son.”

After kissing his son on the cheek, Navardoze turned his back. Contrary to the expectation that she would return back to her true form, she used space magic to leave. Suaa… the space around Navardoze

. This blurred and her shape disappeared. Soon, the mana in the air disappeared and the stagnant time began to flow at its original speed

.

“Hmm? Hasn’t the position of the moon changed?”

A cool night breeze brushed their cheeks. The students who had stopped stopped and continued their actions as if nothing had happened. As Navardoze said, they didn’t even seem to know that they were enchanted. At that time, a shadow that cut through the darkness and flew over Ronan’s shoulder Landed on it. It was

Sheeta.

Sheeta spread her four wings and started looking around in all directions. Suddenly, Navardoze’s presence disappeared, and she seemed to feel a sense of wonder. That appearance made her laugh like a new recruit taking on a guard duty for the first time. “It’s okay. Now everything is fine.

” it’s over.”

“Pyeonuuu…?”

Ronan gently stroked Sheeta. Sheeta opened her thin eyes right away and rubbed her face on the back of Ronan’s hand. He looked back at Itargand and said, “Then shall we go back soon?

”

“…Don’t call me that.”

“Look at me. Itargandre is honestly too long.”

“I told you not to call me. And if you tell others what you saw today… I will burn you to death.”

“It’s scary. It’s okay to blow fire, so please don’t kiss me.”

“this guy!!”

Unable to contain it, Itargand burst into a roar. Even though it was a cry that came through human vocal cords, a dragon was still a dragon. The size of the window was shaking, and the attention of the students was drawn. “Kyaaaaaaa!

”

“What?!” He seemed to be feeling quite ashamed that

his ears were red. Ronan

, who had once smiled, left the plaza with Itargand and bickering.

It was bright. The sunlight filtering through the curtains was strong. Maybe because so much had happened last night, I slept later than usual. ”

Ahhh… I still can’t believe it…”

Ronan murmured as he stretched out. I thought it was just a dream to see Mother of Fire bewildered and apologizing or smiling kindly. It was a very unrealistic dream. ”

What are you wearing today?”

Perhaps by now, the notice that Navardoze would visit Phileon should have come down. In many ways, it will be an all-time high school entrance ceremony. Ronan muttered that while standing up. Knock. A knock at the door rang out. “Ronan-sama

. It’s me.”

“Oh Lucy…come in.”

“Please open the door. I can’t use my hands…ugh it’s pretty heavy.”

“hmm?”

Ronan opened the door, and in Lucy’s hand, dressed in a maid’s uniform, was holding a luxurious box. Upon receiving the box, he tilted his head.

“It’s heavy. What’s this?”

“Whoa… I lived. I’m not sure either. Are you from a place called Farzan?”

“Farzan?”

“yes. I have to clean the plaza, so I’ll come back later. Have a good day.”

Lucy bowed politely and left. Alogin’s name was written in large letters on the invoice. I heard that her condition was much worse than Zaifa’s, but somehow she seemed to have survived.

“The old man’s string is also tough.”

Ronan laughed. I was worried in my heart, but fortunately it happened. But apart from that, I had no idea what was in it.

“Why did you send it so tightly packed?”

The surface of the box was enchanted with the same sealing magic as the emperor’s edict. Ronan opened the box in bewilderment. His eyes widened when he saw the contents.

“Oh. Fuck.”
